The Idiot VS The Genius

Fourteen floors have been passed through and now they have four floors left to get outta from the Supernatural Realm. ßenlong is running ascending the stairs at his best pace while the others are having chat to break the ice.

But, there is something off. Alfi and Kartika are laying there. You might wonder how the two can be laying on this situation, right? To evade any of your kinky speculations, I'd better show you what happened before this scene.

While they were still dancing in that gentle melody, they were enjoying this moment by acting casual. They couldn't be honest with themselves, but what they did here had shown that they loved each other. Their faces were blushing red and their hearts were racing. The unstoppable joy was filling their bodies and souls yet they couldn't show it because of their own fear. Why is showing it harder than proving it?

Alfi who was still dancing with Kartika slowly pulled her to his embrace and she didn't seem to dislike it. They got closer and closer that Alfi could embrace her. Warm, very warm. His body felt warm. She stuck her head on his chest that she could hear his heartbeat clearly.

"*BA BUMP**BA BUMP**BA BUMP*" That was what she heard.

She felt happy to be embraced by him.

Meanwhile, He embraced her gently while stroking her long hair. Her hair smelled good like a pomegranate. Her straight and good smelling hair made him unable to stop stroking it. He, without even realizing it, kissed her hair and forehead gently.

Realizing that, their eyes are met. They stopped dancing. He stopped stroking her hair. Their faces were getting redder as they had done those things without even realizing it. They got carried away by their own desires. The heart which is full of hesitation loves the heart which is tired of longing and the heart which is tired of longing loves the heart which is full of hesitation.

They had been like that for a quite long time. Everyone got confused by them. Either Alfi or Kartika, no one of them dared to say nor do anything.

"Come on Alfi, do something. Kiss my hair, my forehead, or anything. I won't smack you for that. Please, don't stop." She asked in her heart.

"What do I do? Stroking her hair? Stroking her forehead? Raping her right now? (Oh my god :( ) Will she smack me for that as I have done something outrageous to her? What do I do?" He said in his mind.

The church bell rang aloud that they awoke from their daydream, even so, they were still reluctant to see each other.

Suddenly, a heavy smash hit their heads that they fell. Kartika lost her consciousness while Alfi was still able to get up with the dizziness he had.

"Buriko! What's wrong with you!!!" Alfi yelled at Buriko.

"He still awakes! Smack him that he loses his consciousness!" Aoi commanded them.

Buriko launched a drop smash to Alfi's head and Alfi just raised his head while giving Buriko a cynical gaze.

"Hey, what's the big deal?" Alfi yelled at him.

A blue beam hit his head that he thudded. He got up again with all of his might while holding his dizzy head.

"What's wrong with you, guys?" Alfi sighed.

Buriko and Jeje charged and kicked his butt. Awan, Anggun, Cocong, Herman, and Varz also joined the fray to make sure that Alfi wouldn't get up anymore. To confirm that Alfi would lose his consciousness, they use their power to kick his butt. Physical attack, knives, beam, thunder, wind, diamond, gravity field, nail, fire, and explosion, everything hit him. And after a sequence of ultimate technique that devastated the whole church, Alfi finally lost his consciousness.

"Do you actually want to make him pass out or just simply kill him anyway?" ßenlong asked.

"It's his fault that he is too strong" Buriko was panting.

"Not only his stupidity is unbelievable, but his physical defense is also unbelievable." Varz sighed.

"Why did you asked us to make them pass out, Aoi?" Awan asked.

"If we didn't do that, can you imagine what would their relationship be? Could they act as usual after what happened between them? It would be awkward that they couldn't even talk to each other, don't you think ?" Aoi explained.

"I see, but, they can just remember about that, right?" Anggun asked.

"It's simple. I can just make them forget about that." Aoi said.

"Right, with the power you have, you can just do that easily," Cocong said.

"Tee hee... Just leave it to me! Aoi the Love Goddess!" Aoi exclaimed with pride.

"You are a demon, not a goddess," Cocong said.

"Shut up!" Aoi yelled at them. "Buriko, can you lay them down on ßenlong' back?" Aoi asked.

Buriko then laid them down on ßenlong' back.

"Like this?" Buriko lifted her up so that she could see both of them laying down there.

"Make them hold hands," Aoi instructed him.

Buriko moved Alfi's right hand and Kartika's left hand so that they looked like sleeping while holding hands.

"Noice." Aoi gave a thumb up.

"You cruel demon," Buriko said.

Suddenly the sanctuary door was opened showing the stair to the next floor.

"Guess, we have to go now.' Aoi said. "Awan, Anggun. Thanks for your cooperation." She added in a friendly manner.

"No problem. Well, they do make a great couple." Awan said.

"But, still, one of them must be aggressive if they really are serious about this thing," Anggun said.

"Well, we just pushed them a bit and we just have to leave the rest to them, right?" Aoi said.

Awan and Anggun just nodded. Aoi and the others had mounted ßenlong ready to advance to the next floor.

"We bid you farewell. Happy marriage, both of you!" Aoi said.

ßenlong ran fast ascending the stairs to the next floor that Awan and Anggun couldn't see them anymore. The door then closed by itself. Anggun then embraced his chest and whispered, 'Hey cutie, will you spend a night with me tonight? Just two~of~us~.' Tempting him.

His face got blushed and nosebleed that he passed out. Anggun just chuckled by seeing him like that.

"Seeing you like this is why I love you, Awan." Anggun carried his body and walked to the sanctuary door.

The door opened showing a dimmed chamber lit by short candles on every corner of the chamber. Anggun carried his body and laid him down on the king-size bed over there and...

...

I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Alright, flashback 's over. Yes, it's done! Moving on! No questions!

Kartika is still asleep there. Deep inside her consciousness, she hears a familiar voice.

"Kartika... Kartika..." It keeps calling her name.

"Aoi? What just happened actually?" Kartika asked in her mind.

Which means, she doesn't awake, you idiot.

Kartika who is laying in her mind gets up and takes a seat in front of Aoi who is sitting before Kartika's presence.

"I'm sorry, I am the one who asked Buriko to smack you that you passed out." Aoi looks guilty for what she had done.

"Why did you do that?"

"I just want to protect both of you."

"What do you mean?"

"Kartika, would it be possible for you to act normal in front of his presence if Buriko didn't smack both of you?"

Kartika remains silent with her blushed face. Aoi's reason does make any sense that Kartika isn't aware of that. They were having fun in their play. It is a play yet they got carried away by their hearts. Kartika couldn't imagine how awkward their relationship would be if Buriko didn't smack them.

"I see."

"Well, the others also agree to not talk about it. You must know what must you do, right?"

Kartika nods.

"Pretending as if nothing happened, right?"

"Exactly!" Aoi winks her left eye. "You know, you seem to enjoy that dancing play with him." She chuckles.

"Yes," Kartika answered in a low tone. "I... was happy to dance with him." She added.

"And I was really surprised when he mentioned the reason why he wanted you to wear your casual clothes."

"So was I. He said that I am beautiful and his one and only. I was really happy. I was never so happy like this before." Kartika drips her tears. "He said it without any hesitation on his face. Any woman will be melted if the guy she loves says that thing, right? I didn't feel embarrassed at all. I felt happy. Really happy." She sobbed.

Aoi then wipes Kartika tears that wet her cheeks with her chilling fingers. They are chilling, but Kartika somehow feels the warmth from those fingers. It's because the warmth itself comes from her heart.

"You are so lucky, Kartika. You have a great guy on your side." Aoi said. "He is a pervy and apathetic jerk, but who could expect that he is so gentle and adorable? I think there's no man like that in the real world." She added.

"I guess I just have to get used to his bad sides. Well, nobody's perfect, right?"

"But, he is perfect for you, am I right?"

Kartika just smiles and nods. But suddenly, her smile disappears.

"But, is it possible? Everything will be just two of us. Is it possible?" Kartika is getting hesitant again. "He must be worrying Megumi right now. I think he doesn't want to make hurt her as he has dated another woman behind her." She added.

"He is such a loyal guy. Even though that Megumi is just his mere delusion, he still persists to consider that she is real."

"You think so?!"

"But, do you think to let him entrapped in his own delusion is good for himself?" Aoi seems serious now.

Aoi who generally looks calm does look eerie with her pale and full of scratches face. Now, her serious face makes her eerier than before. Kartika is scared by her looks actually yet she is trying to hold it as she doesn't want to hurt Aoi's feeling by screaming in front of her.

"Wh... What do you mean?" Kartika asked.

"You must know what I mean, right?" Aoi said. "Alfi currently falls for Megumi who is his own mere delusion. She is his Ribo, but still, she is an illusion. Don't you feel pity for him?"

"I do. Loving something unreal? Isn't it sorrowful? It's as if he has no one to love. When I saw him awakening Megumi, he was crying and hugging her tight.

"Pathetic, right? Probably he doesn't have anyone to love or..."

"Or?"

"He feels as if no one loves him."

"Did you say that because you have read his memory?"

"Who knows? It's just my intuition."

"Aoi, please tell me. Why does Alfi feel so?"

"I have no right to tell you, Kartika. It's Alfi himself that must tell you."

"I see." Kartika puts a long face.

Aoi just smiles at her and says, "Kartika, are you still hesitant?"

Kartika just nods.

"You were happy to dance with him, right?"

Kartika just nods.

"Did you know? While you were dancing, without even you realized it, you showed your feeling to each other. You showed your feeling to him and so did he. The warmth you felt while dancing was created by the feeling you have. I think you guys did realize it that you almost kissed him." Aoi chuckled.

Kartika remains silent with her red face holding her embarrassment.

"Well, Kartika, just believe in your heart. Let it guide you, kay?" Aoi said gently.

Kartika just smiles and nods.

Meanwhile, Alfi is laying down in his own consciousness. His swollen eyes are still opened. They look tired yet they just don't want to close themselves just for resting even for a minute. There are so many things that bother his mind right now. The fear and hesitation he has since entering the fourteenth floor keep haunting him.

"How long will you stay like that, Alfi?" He hears Aoi's voice in his mind.

"Come on," Aoi suddenly appears in front of his face. "Why the long face."

"What do you want?"

"Isn't it obvious? I just want to help you to get closer to her."

"What for?"

"Alfi, you must know that you can't lie to me. I know what you think, what you hide, and what you want." Aoi explained. "And I know that you fall for her, even the love towards her is bigger than the one towards Megumi, right?"

"Cut the crap!" Alfi yelled at her.

"Just quit denying it, Alfi. The fact is that you do love her, right? Aren't you aware of what you've done while dancing with her? You were hesitant and scared yet you were happy to have a good time with her. You wanted to stay hugging her and stroking her hair, right?"

Alfi remains silent.

"Am I right?"

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Tsk" He just turned away.

"Alfi, you can't just deny it, can you?"

"Then what do you want me to do?!" He yelled at her.

He does look upset.

"Nothing. You are free to do anything you want, but be careful. Every decision you make, every action you choose, everything has its own consequences and you have to be ready to face it." She disappears from his presence.

Alfi is still laying there seeing that pale sky. He still doesn't want to open his eyes. He still wants to stay here to clear his mind.

"I do love Kartika, but can I just casually tell her about my feeling? If she does also love me, then what about Megumi? They do consider her my mere delusion. That's the fact yet not for me. For me, she is real. She has a physical body like a human, and she has a heart like women in general. Am I bold enough to hurt her heart if I choose Kartika regardless she asks me to go find a real woman to live with? And on the other hand, Am I bold enough to let Kartika like that because of my selfishness? Aoi got a point. Everything is up to me. It's either I choose Megumi who is actually my escape route after that event or Kartika who does love me. I dunno what to do. Guess I have to open my eyes now." He is pondering what to do. "Nope."

Suddenly his consciousness is full of sexy anime girls.

"Well, it's been a long time since my last routine ritual." He said.

And... I'll leave the rest to you.

Kartika opens her eyes slowly. She sees the dark blue sky illuminated by Luna ray reflection. She feels her left hand is being touched by something. She then averts her gaze to her south-west and she sees her left hand is holding his warm right hand. She is getting surprised yet happy at the same time. She then swiftly pulls out her hand while Alfi is asleep. She sees Aoi smiling at her that somehow that smile makes Kartika uneasy.

"Hoam." She hears a man' moan.

Realizing that it's Alfi that signaling he awakes, she gets up and takes a seat so that he doesn't know that he had slept with her in the first place.

"You awake, Alfi?" She said.

She said that so that he will think that what happened before is just a mere dream.

"Yup." He gets up. "Huh, we are on the stairs already? Who defeated those two?" He asked.

He said that to convince them that he doesn't know anything about what happened before.

No one answers.

"Why so quiet?" He asked.

"There, there, at least we can go to the next floor, right?" Aoi said.

"Well, I guess you got a point there," Alfi replied.

Alfi then reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls his iron bracelet. He puts it on his right wrist and Megumi appears on it. The two start having a good chat as usual. Seeing that makes Kartika kinda jealous. They just had a good time for just two of them and now this idiot is having fun with another woman in front of her presence. Kartika does want to smack him as usual, but she remembers to what Aoi said to her "Just believe in your heart. Let it guide you". Remembering that makes her hold the urge to smack him and let him have a good time with Megumi. Kartika just wonders when will she be on Megumi's position that she can freely have a good chat and good time with him. Seeing him smiling like that makes her happy. No need to hesitate to show your love to your loved one like that. That's what she really wants, but now, she is just able to wait for now.

The same hesitation does apply to him. That's true that he is having fun with Megumi right now, but he also concerns about Kartika's feeling who sees two of them having a good chat in front of her presence like this. If Kartika does love him, doesn't it hurt her heart? But, what about Megumi? Megumi is nothing but his delusion that he insisted to be real or at least to have a physical body like a human, not to mention that she told him that loves him just the way he loves her. Paradoxically, Any decision he makes will end up to break someone's heart. Either it's Megumi or Kartika, the abandoned one will have a broken heart as she is insisted to see the face that she can't live with the man she loves most.

Meanwhile, on the fifteenth floor. There is a guy who is watching them heading to this floor through the light orb in front of his presence. Three men are standing sluggishly with pale faces like zombies behind him.

"Finally we'll meet again. Hope you can entertain me, oh, the Alfa." He said.

They find themselves in a place like a construction site. There are so many mounds of sand and stones around them and a framework consisting of a series of steel pipes soaring to the sky that makes intimates them as those pipes can collapse anytime as that they probably have to fight the guardian here and not to mention that the wind blows from various direction.

"Be careful. This environment is kinda dangerous." ßenlong said as he explores this floor carefully as the ground is mixed with stones and wet sand.

Suddenly they hear an eerie howl of a wolf. Then they smell something smelly that they have to pinch their noses. I feel bad for Cocong, but he seems to enjoy the smell. Oh right, I forgot that he is a masochist.

"A construction site, wolf howling, and stink. Who would it be?" Alfi wondered.

"What are you talking about?" Kartika looks wondering.

"Don't you realize it? We have been fighting those we have defeated before. Did we ever kill someone related to this environment?" Alfi explained.

"Hmm, I have no idea." She replied.

Suddenly Alfi feels something moving really fast beside him. It's really fast that the others barely feel its presence.

"Varz, did you see that?" Alfi asked him through telepathy.

"No, but I can feel its presence. Whoever he is, he must be a sly Doki-doki user that he can dispel his own presence, even I barely fell his Iru." Varz is ready to unsheathe his sword.

It keeps moving in every direction and then it comes to Alfi. Realizing that, Varz takes a leap and holds its kick with his sheathed sword. When everything feels like clear already, suddenly a giant with pale yellow wolf head appears launching his fist to their direction, but Cakra swiftly parries it with his own fist. Alfi feels something is coming from their front and they see something like a brown gas ball coming to them. Seeing that, Alfi swiftly draws Tipit and pierces the ball that it vanishes.

"As I thought." Alfi sees a man with spiky hair who wears a blue thin jacket, black trousers, and a sword on his back which are also worn by the three guys they are confronting right now.

"The Sky Bandit, eh?" Alfi said.

The spiky gives a come hither hand sign and the three back-dash to his side.

"Long time no see, Alfi." He said.

"Katon?! You are Katon, right?!" Herman exclaimed.

He pulls his pen from his pocket and it turns into an iron staff.

"Yes, it's me." He replied. "Don't ever think that I'll let you pass that easily." He smirked.

"What do you mean? Don't you see it? We have to get back to the real world to save the world." Herman is trying to convince Katon.

Katon just remains silent.

"Please. You know that we have to protect the world. If we stay here for a little longer, then the world will be in the void. So, Katon, plea--"

"Cut the crap!" Katon yelled at him. "Protecting the world, you say? You are nothing but a bunch of losers that wait to be crushed!"

"What? What do you mean, Katon? I don't get it." Herman is getting hesitant.

"Don't act like a fool, Herman, though I know that you are the idiots among your retarded squad. You failed to protect the world as you are weak! Even you are unable to defeat Waku-waku as we agreed before. Even," Katon points out his staff to Alfi "When this retarded Starless found himself entrapped in this realm, he was able to goof around without even care about what he had done nor what is happening in the real world. I misjudge you guys. I'll kill you right here, right now!" He yelled at them.

"Fuck you and your disappointment. I protect the world because of my own will. If only I fall, I just have to get up and fight again that I have a mental break." Alfi exclaimed. "And, One question, what have you done to them, Katon?" He points out the three figures standing beside him.

They wear the same attires like Katon yet their face and appearance are so pale like zombies.

"Oh, them? They are just my teammates who died in dumb ways just for assisting you. We were entrapped here and we knew that you are entrapped here as well. They just couldn't stop to ask me to assist you to get outta here. Feeling upset by their babbles, I killed them." Katon explained. "AND PRESERVED THEIR BODIES THAT THEY TURNED INTO MY OBEDIENT ZOMBIE TROOP!" He shouted.

"How cruel." Kartika is shocked by hearing it.

"INDRA!" Katon exclaimed.

The zombie who stands on Katon's left advances to their direction launching his kick, but Cocong swiftly launches himself letting himself get kicked and Varz appears in front of Indra ready to slash Indra with his sword, but Indra swiftly back-dashes and jumps ascending those steel pipes.

"Alfi! Leave him to us!" Varz exclaimed.

Varz follows Indra by launching himself to the sky with the gust of wind that comes out from his soles and Cocong is slithering onto the steel pipe to climb up.

"REZA!" Katon exclaimed.

The giant zombie with a pale yellow wolf head is howling and advances ready to launches its scratch. Kartika then jabs his hand and something like a beast paw appears near his head and it scratches him. Buriko then hits Reza with his wooden ax and throws Reza to the mount of stones hard.

"Let us take care of him, Alfi!" Kartika runs to get Reza followed by Buriko.

"IQBAL!" Katon exclaimed.

The zombie who stands on Katon's right emits something like a brown gas ball from his mouth. ßenlong and Jeje shoot it with flame and blue beam. The collision creates a thick smoke, Alfi, and Herman then advance trough the smoke taking advantage of the smokescreen for a surprise attack. Herman appears ready to launch his fire fist to Katon. Seeing that, Katon evades Herman's surprise attack easily and hit Herman with his iron staff hard that he is thrown to the mount of sand on his left. When Alfi is about to strike Katon's body with Pelidi, but Katon can block Alfi's attack with his iron staff.

"Reckless as ever, eh?" Katon insulted him.

"Tsk." Katon does get Alfi's nerve.

Katon swings his iron staff downwards strongly dismantling Alfi's weapon and kicks his body that he falls down.

"Are you really a world protector?" Katon hits Alfi's head with his iron staff.

Alfi is overthrown to the side. With all of his might, he is trying to reach his bracelet, but Katon suddenly steps on Alfi's right hand and stabs Alfi's left hand with the edge of his staff.

"Come on, you did say that you just need to get up and fight again? Can you still do it in this condition?" Katon kicks Alfi's head while bursting out laughing.

Katon lifts his left leg backward and kicks Alfi's head hard that Alfi is soaring to the sky. Katon then soars to the sky to get Alfi. Herman gets up while burning that mount of sand where he laid.

"Alfi!" Herman is soaring to the sky with flames around his body leaving his hat fall to the ground.

Kartika and Buriko are confronting Reza who currently looks like a zombie with a canine head.

"How ruthless," Kartika said.

That muscular body yet stiff with that wolf head gives an eerie impression. He seems to have lost his mind. He is not himself anymore. The one who is standing there is just a mere human dead body combined with a dead beast head which is insisted to live.

"Cakra, Buriko, let's defeat him once and for all!" Kartika exclaimed.

"Say no more." Buriko looks vigilant right now.

Reza advances to attack by opening his mouth ready to bite his prey. Cakra then jabs Reza's head really strong and Buriko is rising his wooden ax ready to immobilize him, yet suddenly Reza's body is separated from his head and the body impales Buriko's body with his sword.

"What is happening?!" Kartika is confused by seeing what just happened.

Buriko strikes that body with his ax and pulls the sword and throws it to Reza's head that it is impaled on his left eye. Kartika and Buriko then back-dashes.

"He separated his head from his body? Is that his power?" Buriko asked.

"No, it isn't. He has the same Ribo type like me. Or probably...." Kartika reminds something.

"What is it? Kartika?" Buriko asked.

"That wolf head," Kartika said.

"Yes, it's Taringa, Reza's Ribo," Cakra added.

Something comes out from the bottom of that head. It is a giant muscular body and now it looks like a yellow giant werewolf. But, his muscular body now turns into a skinny body.

"It means, he fused Reza's body with the Iru essence of Taringa. He has lost his mind." Cakra is getting agitated.

"In any cases, we have to defeat him!" Buriko said.

"We'll take care of Taringa. I'll leave the body to you." Cakra said.

"Understood"

Both of them advance to fight against their respective opponents. Kartika and Cakra are confronting the bewildered Taringa, and Buriko is confronting the agile Reza's body. Taringa and Cakra are having a great fistfight as they keep launching their strong physical attack. While Reza's body keeps evading every attack that Buriko launches to it, yet Buriko also can't let it make a scratch on his body.

Meanwhile, Jeje and ßenlong are confronting Iqbal. Iqbal and ßenlong keep emitting their respective projectile from their mouths. Brown gas and flame are colliding while Jeje is maneuvering around Iqbal while shooting blue beams from his hands to Iqbal, yet the beam hits the brown gas that envelopes Iqbal's body. The gas itself has become the barrier that blocks every Jeje's attack. What they can do for now is to stay in the offensive mode that they can break the gas barrier. That fat zombie doesn't move at all. He just keeps emitting that brown gas from his mouth.

Meanwhile, Varz and Cocong are confronting Indra on the steel pipes which are in the middle of the framework. Indra is the fastest member of the Sky Bandit. He can evade every attack that Cocong launches and match his pace with Varz's Though Varz uses his wind and thunder attributes, Indra is still able to evade Varz's attack. The brattle of kick and sword colliding is the prove that Varz is confronting a formidable opponent who keeps him busy right now.

Everyone is doing their best to confront their respective opponents. It isn't a surprise for them to feel pain. The pain itself is not a reason to give up, but it is a reason for them to keep fighting. Suddenly, they see a flame soaring to the sky. It is Herman who is chasing Katon and Alfi.

Katon lands on the top of that steel pipe framework. Alfi is still soaring to the sky passing the spot where Katon is. Katon points out his iron staff to Alfi and it expands piercing Alfi's body. Seeing that, Katon pulls his staff and impales Alfi with his sword.

"Uwwargh!" Alfi screamed in pain.

Katon pulls his staff and sword and kicks him hard that Alfi is falling, yet suddenly Herman catches Alfi's body and brings him to the top.

"Are you alright, Alfi?" Herman asked.

"Don't wor-"

Suddenly Katon's iron staff is coming to Herman. Seeing that, Herman throws Alfi to the air and shoots fire to that staff. Katon immediately spins his staff to puts off the flame. What about Alfi, you asked? Oh, he fell to the steel pipe where Herman stands on.

"Asshole." He said that as he landed with his head hitting the steel pipe.

Katon swings his staff to Herman. Herman immediately grabs it and burns it followed by launching his fire fist to Katon. Seeing that, Katon turns his body into rock and let Herman launching his attack to Katon's body. He lets himself get burnt and then he launches his scorching fist to Herman's head hard that he is overthrown hitting that steel pipe. Herman has no time to sleep, with all of his might, he gets up and swiftly advance with his fire fist ready to attack Katon. When his fist lands on Katon's body, It absorbs the flame instead.

"What?" Herman is getting confused by seeing that.

"As I thought. You are the stupidest among all of those morons. Rock is flammable, but the result of the combustion of that makes it stronger than the fire itself." Katon strikes Herman's body to the right making Herman fall.

But, suddenly the magic curtain flies getting his body and brings him to the top beside Alfi. But, it makes Herman lands on his head against that solid steel pipe.

"We are even now." Alfi draws Tipit from his bracelet.

"So you are still able to get up after having such torment. Have you not learned anything yet? Why don't you just die rather than becoming the most useless being for his own world." Katon insulted Alfi.

"I am a dirtbag and I do want to die. Then, can you just kill me instead? If you can." Alfi just gives a smirk to Katon.

"Then, I'll do as you asked." That iron staff turns into a black metal staff.

It is surrounding him spirally and the end which resembles a dinosaur's head is wobbling over his head.

"Abiofusi?!" Hermanis shocked by seeing that as he gets up.

"More than that!" Katon exclaimed.

That dino head is emitting flame from its mouth to Alfi. Alfi just simply emits water from the edge of Duy-duy. The appearance of Katon's Abiofusi mode looks rather different than before. His staff is enveloped by flares.

"Prepare to die, Oh, the Alfa!" Katon exclaimed.

That dino head is coming to Alfi. Alfi just jumps on it and use the staff that connects the head to Katon as a platform to get him to Katon.

"Looks like I'm wrong. You are the stupidest one!" Katon exclaimed.

The shaft is moving on its own and it coils Alfi's body really tight.

"Quick question, do you know what Neurotransmitter?" Katon asked.

"Nope," Alfi replied casually.

"Too bad." Ucap Katon.

Suddenly, Alfi feels like he is being electrocuted by a great voltage of electricity. Alfi is screaming in pain at the top of his lung. His body is jolting by the sting, but every time his body jolts, the pain is getting more painful thanks to the coil.

"Neurotransmitter is a chemical that delivers electricity. I deliver the electrical charge from my body cell to use and with the electromagnetism that comes from this power, I can electrocute you like this. Use your brain in a fight, you retarded trash." Katon explained.

Honestly, I don't understand what I just wrote here.

Katon stops the electrocution. Alfi is getting sluggish that he has lost his consciousness. Katon then throws him to the side letting him fall to the ground. Herman who is about to save him is getting swept by Katon to the other side making him fall too.

THUD!

Alfi and Herman fall hard. Herman is trying to get up yet he can't move his body at all. Not to mention Alfi who is totally defeated.

"Goodbye." Katon raises his hands and the connected steel pipes on that framework are trembling.

Realizing that, Indra, Varz and Cocong jumps to the ground. All of those steel pipes are floating at the sky surrounding Katon's body. When he swings down his staff, the steel pipes drop impaling Alfi's sluggish body.

Everyone is shocked by what just happened before their very eyes. Those pipes drop really fast that no one could have a chance parry them at all. Not to mention that they still have to deal with their opponents. Herman who saw that drips his tears. He remembers the time where he was with Alfi, the one he admires most. He remembers what Alfi said to him when they defeated Anggun in Garut.

"It doesn't matter whether you're strong or weak. I am not so strong either, but my friends make me stronger. And you're one of them! It's because you are my friend as well!"

Herman screams aloud. Some flares appear on his whole body and they are getting bigger and bigger. His tattoo is suddenly turning into a real bullet chain vest that is set on his body. His body now is enveloped by a great flame.

"Herman?!" Kartika is shocked by seeing Herman's appearance right now.

"That bullet brain has awakened his Abiofusi." Varz who is still dealing with Indra said.

Herman emits flame from his nails to Indra, Reza, Taringa, and Iqbal that they are burnt into ashes in a jiffy.

"KATON!!!" Herman is coming to Katon.

"Short tampered, eh?" The dino head comes to Herman.

Instead of evading it, Herman just passes through it. But, the head is burnt into crisps alongside with the staff that Katon holds.

"What the hell?!" Katon turns his body into water and he is coming to Herman.

"I've manipulated my body into the water which can distinguish any kind of fire! I'll distinguish you, HERMAN!" Katon exclaimed.

"KATON!" Herman exclaimed.

Water and fire are colliding resulting in a cloud of thick smoke. Those two are falling really fast and hit the ground together. Katon who has returned to his human form is about to change his body again, yet he can't do it. He realizes that his pen which is his Jowa is not in his pocket. He is trying to look for it and he finds it lying fifteen meters ahead of him. Katon is crawling to reach it yet Herman who has returned to his human form snatches it.

"Gimme back!" Katon exclaimed.

Herman pulls a green Ribo with spiky hair from it. It is Dron, Katon's Ribo. As Herman touches Dron, Katon becomes unable to move at all.

"When one's Ribo is touched by someone else, he will be unable to move, right?" Herman said. "Don't worry, I won't wipe him as you will be alive even though your Ribo is dead. If a Ribo is burnt, the user will feel so. But, if the Ribo is wiped out, it won't apply to the user but being unable to move like that." He added.

"Herman! What are you going to do?!" Kartika exclaimed.

"You are a good guy, Katon. We even had a chance to fight together, and train together with the same vision." Herman grabs Dron.

"Herman! Don't tell me you are going to do that! You may just kill him by any method but please don't use that method!" Varz exclaimed. "Have you lost your sense?! Defeating someone with such a nasty method?!"

"Of course I am gonna do that. We disappointed him. He did preserve his friends into his zombie troops, make us fight our own friends, and he did something so despicable to Alfi. Unforgivable, unforgivable." Herman said.

Suddenly the steel pipes that are impaling Alfi are burst into the sky. Alfi immediately gets up and runs to Herman while shouting, "STOP IT!"

"Goodbye, Katon," Herman said.

Herman flows his Iru to Dron. Dron's body is getting expanded and bigger that he finally bursts like a balloon. Katon suddenly loses all of his senses. He cant see, hear, taste, smell, nor feel anything that he is unable to scream. His body is getting expanded and bigger that he finally bursts like a balloon. All of them see some green lights floating at the sky. They are floating randomly and then they gather form something written "I am sorry" before they finally vanish.

What they just see is really fearsome yet sorrowful that they are speechless right now. Alfi then comes putting that cowboy hat to Herman's head. Alfi knows that scolding him won't do anything as he sees Herman is dripping his tears. Alfi just knows that Herman has a gentle heart, yet even a man with the gentlest heart can do something despicable like that.

"Let's go," Alfi said.

"You don't hate me, right?" Herman asked.

"Why should I?" Alfi turns around facing Herman.

"I've done something despicable. I think it's just unforgivable." Herman said.

"No matter how bad things have you done..." Alfi said.

Everyone is surrounding them.

"You are still our precious friend." Alfi smiles at him.

"Oh, before that," Aoi said. "What about I take~care~of~you~?" She winked.

"I do! I do!" All of them are getting excited but Kartika.

Kartika then smacks all of them with her deadly fist immediately.

"Please give me a break already. Can't you be serious?" Kartika facepalmed.

"We were," Alfi said.

"I am not asking you!" Kartika yelled at him.

"Well, but I think this is what we are." She said in her mind. "I know that you wanted to scold him, Alfi. Yet you didn't do so as you know that if you did, Herman's guilty would worsen that he would leave us. Alfi, you... Really love your friends, right?" She added admiring Alfi.
